Questions you may have

Yes. We only list money transfer operators or banks that are fully authorized and monitored by the regulatory authorities of their operating countries.

Before you make an international money transfer, compare the costs of the different options on Monito. Rates and fees change often, so for the best deal, do a comparison before every transfer — they may have changed since you last sent money. Once you enter the details about where you are sending money from and to, click on compare. You’ll see a list of all the options to send money between two countries. The best option is at the top, but you may want to consider other criteria such as the speed of transaction or the pay-in or payout methods.

Of course! Banks are usually not the best way to make international money transfers. The fees can be quite low (sometimes even zero), but banks often apply inflated exchange rates. We list as many banks as possible in our results, so you can compare and find out if you’d be better off switching to another bank or a specialized money transfer company.

Monito is not a money transfer company. We’re here to help you find the best way to send money abroad. Just tell us which country you’re sending money from and which country you want to send money to, and we’ll show you a list of all available services. Once you select the best one for your needs, you'll be redirected to the money transfer provider’s website to get started with your transfer.

Everyone wins, except expensive solutions

With our model, the only losers are the expensive banks or providers you’ll stop using!

To ensure our independence, we always use transparent, objective and verifiable criteria in our comparison. No provider can buy their way to the top of our results.

We include as many providers as possible in our comparison and have partnerships with almost all major and innovative providers.

We make sure you never pay more than if you went directly to the provider of your choice. We even negotiate special offers for you with many of our partners.

You save money on your transfer by selecting the cheapest provider.

The best providers earn new customers without expensive marketing, helping keep their costs (and prices) low.

Monito receives a referral fee from the provider you selected. This enables us to offer our service to you for free.

If everyone used the cheapest available option for their transfer, $28 billion in excessive transfer fees and exchange rates could be saved each year.
